Application filed August 15,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN McAsKILL, a resident of Brooklyn, Kings County,New f the United States, certain new and useful Im- Sliding and SwingingWinprovements in h the following is a spec1 dows, of whi fication.

This invention relates to windows, and more especially to swinging andvertically moving sashes, the object ,of the invention being to providethe window structure wit grooves which are used in certain parts butwhich are absent on other parts of the window frame so that the sashframes may be swung from their operative positions for thepurpose ofrepair, to afford more ventilation for the room, or to clean the glassanes.

The window in the frame to prevent or cold air, but when, it the sasheson their hinges sashes are normally secured the admission of rain isdesired to swing they are slid to positions in the allowed to swingopen; then both may remain in these positions or same level.

These and other objects are more fully described in the following setforth in the appended claims, and illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings, wherein:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a window with the improved sashes andshowing the dotted lines;

the inside;

Fig. 3 is same;

Fig. 4 is a horizontal sectional view on the line 4--4 of Fig. 2;

Fig. 5 is a similar view on the line 5-5 of Fig. 2; v Fig. 6 is afragmentary detail of the upper sash and its slide;

Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the upper end of the upper sash from theoutside;

Fig. 8 is a similar view of the lower sash from the outside; and

Fig. 9 is a reduced view of the window from the inside showing how thesashes swing in the window frame.

In windows of this description as heretofore made, the sashes aresecured by some a vertical sectional view of the shown in dotted linesof the invention 1922. Serial No. 582,067.

screw or catch that must be removed before they can be swung open. Thepresent invention seeks to eliminate all'such adjuncts and at the sametime to effect a positive and thorough closure of the window opening orto permit the swinging inward of the sashes to leave the opening in thewindow frame practically clear.

At each side of the window frame 10 is located a slide 11 or 12 playingrespectively in a guideway 13 or 14, the slide 12 normally h located atthe upper right-hand end of the storm-tight means consisting of tonguesand frame, while the slide 11 is normally located in the lower left-handside of the frame.

Any form of counterweight may be connected'with these slides and holdthem at any desired point, and the weights 30 are in Fig. 2 and willanswer the purpose.

To the slide 11 is hinged the lower sash 15, as shown in-Fig. 5, and theopposite edge of this sash has a groove16 that receives a the tongue 17forming a part of one of vertical members of the window frame, while thehinged edge has an overlapping lip 18 which fits around one side of theslide while the window is closed to provide a thorough closure againstwind or rain.

The slide 11 is made weather-proof by its side flanges 19 and centraltongue that abuts flange 18, and the whole is designed to close ly closeout'the elements. of the sash is the usual beveled bar 20, while theusual strip 21 is provided at the sill. A thorough closure is thereforeprovided around the entire sash.

The upper sash 22 is similar to sash 15, but its hinges and slide 12 areat the opposite side of the frame.- As will be seen in Fig. 4, theguideway 14 is made up of the vertical members of the window frame, andas also shown in Figs. 6 and 7 the adjacent lip 23 acts as an efiicientweather strip on the outside of the sash at the hinged edge. Theopposite edge of this sash 22 has the vertical groove 24 to receive atongue 25 on the window frame, and to provide a closure against theelements a lip 26, on the outer face of the sash, plays in acorresponding roove in the window frame.

The above described construction provides a simple but very completeclosure when the sashes are closed, and which in no way interferes withthe operation of the sashes.

When it is desired to swing the sashes open the closures 17 and 25 willnot prevent the inward swing of the sashes when the upper sash is slidto its extreme lower position in the frame and the lower sash is slid toits extreme upper position.

, To swing the lower sash 15 open, it is elevated until its e swunginward, dotted lines .and then lowered to the position shown. The uppersash 22 is then lowcred until its grooved edge is free from the tongue25, and it may then be easily swung inward and thewhole frame leftfreeand open, the said sash being hinged to slide 12 far enough out topermit the sash to avoid the tongue 17- and swing inward atsubstantially a right angle.

Reversing this operation will again put the sashes in their operativepositions.

Itwill'be seen in Figs. 3 and 7 that the upper end of slide 12 isextended above its hinged and accompanying sash. As the sash oes notnormally extend to the top of the frame in this instance a recess isleft at this point in which a shade roller 27 may be journalled andremoved from the outer face of the frame, thus not appearance butprotecting the shade from injury.

It is obvious that the device may be otherwise arranged or modifiedwithout departingfrom the essential features above described or fromthe-scope of the appended claims. I

What I claim is:

' 1. In a window, the combination of a frame having on each side stripsdefining a guideway a. slide in each guideway, and adapted to normallybe located inthe upper part and the lower partof the frame respectively,a tongue in each guideway and opposite the normal position of eachslide, a sash hinged to each slide and having a groovein its free edgeto engage and recelve'the tongue, and weather closures at the hingededge of the sashes.

I 2. In a window, the combination of a window frame havi g s'ide strips,a slide at each side of the frame and adapted to play between thestrips, a sash hinged to each slide and having a groove in its free edgeand a lip at its hinged edge, a tongue at the lower part of one side ofthe frame to be received in the groove of the lower sash,

only improving its.

'posite guideway,

a tongue-in the upper part of the side of the frame and opposite theside of the first tongue and adapted to be received in the groove of.the upper sash, and weights for the sashes.

3. In a window, the combination of side strips on the frame ofsaidwindow and defining guideways, a. slide of substantially T-shape andadapted to play in the guideways at each side of the frame, a sashhinged to each slide and having a lip at the hinged edge and adapted toproject over the edge of said slide to form a weather strip and having agroove in its outer and free edge, a tongue'in the guideway at the lowerend of one side of the frame to be received by the groove of the edge ofone of the sashes when in normal and closed action, and a similar tonguein the upper end of the opposite guideway to be received in the grooveof the other sas 4. In a window, the combination of a frame havingstrips within each side to define guideways, substantially T-shapeslides adapted to play vertically in the guideways, an upper sash hingedto one of the slides and having a projection to overlap the said slideand having a v I free edge, a tongue on part of one of said guideways tobe received by the groove in the sash, an extension on the upperrndofsaid slide, a lower sash hinged to the other slide and having aprojection same slide and a groove ,in its free,edge, a tongue in thelower part of the frame adapt: ed to be received in the groove of thelatter sash, and a projection at the hinged-edge of the latter sash.

5. In a window, the frame having vertical guideway at each side, atongue in the guideway at the lower end of one side of the frame, atongue in the upper end of the opa slide substantially T- shaped incrosssection held in the uideways at each side of the frame and a aptedto move vertically, an upper and lower. sash hinged to the respectiveslides and having grooves to receive-the opposite tongues, and
